At Monona Bank we are committed to helping our community's small businesses keep their doors open and workers on the payroll. We truly believe that our small businesses are the backbone of our economy. By offering a variety of loan options, backed by the Small Business Administration (SBA), we can help your business navigate these unprecedented times. Together we will get through this!

Paycheck Protection Program

The Small Business Administration (SBA) just released another round of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), designed to help small businesses keep workers employed amid the current COVID-19 crisis and economic downturn. The Paycheck Protection Program provides 100% federally guaranteed loans to small businesses who qualify. More importantly, these loans may be forgiven if borrowers maintain their payrolls during the crisis or restore their payroll after the crisis is over.

For additional information about this program, and how the loans can be forgiven, please see the links below.

Please note that we are happy to assist non-clients in submitting their PPP application to the SBA, however, non-clients will need to begin a business relationship with Monona Bank in order for us to submit your application. This is a requirement that was implemented by the SBA.

This as been a highly sought-after loan program; therefore, we have created a streamlined process to expedite all applications. To start the application process please follow the steps below:

Payroll information from 2019. A report from your payroll provider will be a good start.

IRS Form 941 or 944

If you are not yet a client or do not have a business banker you work with, you can contact our Paycheck Protection Group by email at PaycheckProtection@mononabank.com or by phone at (608) 310-1245. This specialized team will help you to submit your application and work through the process, including opening the required accounts, in order to get your loan funded.
